Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Repeated installation problemsYou need to contact the developer of the theme. Typically, per the moderators of the forum, Premium themes are not supported. I’d see what the developers say!

In reply to: Repeated installation problemsSo you extracted all the files in the initial ZIP file provided. Then you went to the dynamix folder and zipped that up correct? You then need to upload the ZIP file via the WordPress dashboard. Make sure you’re not uploading the entire original ZIP file. You must only upload the dynamix ZIP file, after you re-zipped it.

In reply to: Godaddy hosting and HostingSolutions domain – Only Home page worksIt sounds like your add-on domain isn’t set up correctly. When did you set it up? When you add an add-on domain and change the nameservers it can take 24 to 48 hours to fully propagate. 500 errors are generic in nature, you need to look at the server’s error logs to find out the actual error to troubleshoot it. If you are not familiar with how to find your error logs you may need to contact your host.

In reply to: WordPress Permissions on Private VPS777 permissions are a security risk in any situation. It sounds like you have to use the 777 perms because the file is not owned properly. Thus, allowing the “World” to be able to have open permissions fixes the issue.

In reply to: Publish to netOnce you install WordPress on your web server, the site is “live” and there’s no publish button. Do you have a URL to your website?

In reply to: New to WordPress@aawas, it’s considered impolite to interrupt someone else’s thread. You’ll find people are more apt to help if you post your own thread.

In reply to: Get a big folder with files but no "install" buttonRead the codex. You need to upload the files to your web server and run the installation file in a web browser. There’s no button to click to install, since it needs to be uploaded to YOUR server. Do you have web hosting?

In reply to: New to wordpress.orgwhen I visit your domain I still see the GoDaddy parked page. This usually means that you have not updated the nameservers to point your domain to your hosting account OR you have recently changed the nameservers and it’s still within propagation. Propagation can take up to 24 to 48 hours to take effect.

In reply to: InstallationI would delete the installation and re-install WordPress. I’ve used Fantastico countless times and it works quite well. Do you have a URL we can visit to see whats going on? It sounds like there’s something in the .htaccess file thats causing a re-direct.

In reply to: Error establishing a database connectionHi Martin,
Typically, the error you are getting is due to incorrect values in the config file. I’d make sure you have the user attached to the database, the correct password for the database, and the hostname and database name are also correct.
Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: WP as News site CMSNo, I doubt it’s possible without a lot of customization. IT would seem to be counterproductive to want to just use a widget from WordPress, without actually using WordPress. Remember, all the content is stored in databases. Your php website would have to use the same database structure so the code you were using from a plugin or widget could know where to retrieve the data. It seems like a lot of extra work with little payoff.
I think you’ll find the possibilities with WordPress to be endless. There’s very little I’ve found I can’t do using WordPress.
I’m glad you were able to fix it, for the time being. What version of WordPress are you running?

In reply to: cant find wordpressThemes are only available to use on self hosted websites, meaning you have a web hosting provider where your website is.
You need to use FTP and rename the current theme. This will force WordPress to use the default theme, so you can then login to the Dashboard and change it to whatever you’d like.
